Wow!

That was quite a trip! I would really like to thank Carol for setting
this whole thing up. I was quite surprised at the variety of birds that
I saw Sunday morning. It makes me really glad that I didn't go to
Leavenworth to chase the Rustic Bunting. I saw 53 species (not including
the gulls that I didn't bother to identify, the domestic goose, and the
Virginia Rails and Sora which were heard only). I wish I had seen the
peregrine that everyone was talking about.

Anyway, here is what I saw from 8:00 A.M. -- 1:30 P.M. :
